This morning, as usual, Cheng Dalei got up and went to the vegetable field to take a look. The peppers were growing well. Then he looked at the pigs and horses raised in the village, and a few chickens clucking on the ground and pecking at small insects.
Everything was calm, just like every day in the past.
However, for some reason, Cheng Dalei always felt restless, his left eyelid was pounding, and he always felt that something was about to happen.
"If you are the boss, big things will go wrong, big things will go wrong..."
At this moment, Xu Shenji ran over in a hurry, panting and out of breath.
"What happened?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"Master, Zhujiazhai has been destroyed!" Xu Shenji's face was pale, without any blood.
"Which copycat took action?"
"Go and take a look. You will know if you go and take a look. More than thirty people from Zhujiazhai were killed."
"Come on, take me to see it!"
Xu Shenji hurriedly led the way, and met Qin Man and Lin Shaoyu on the way. Li Xingzai came out of the house and saw that the entire Toad Village was mobilized. Of course, there were only six people in the Toad Village. He didn't know what was going on, and he
Follow everyone.
Once you get to Zhujiazhai, you will know that the smell of gunpowder that Cheng Dalei smelled before was false, but now the smell of blood is all over his face.
On a hillside, there were corpses lying everywhere, lying in a pool of blood one by one, with blood beads hanging on the green grass. From an eighty-year-old woman to a child with a yellow mouth, Cheng Dalei saw a corpse lying in the grass.
The body of a child looked to be no more than five or six years old.
Now every corpse has been beheaded, leaving only the body lying on the ground.
He subconsciously covered his mouth and made a sound of retching in his throat.
"What, you've never seen a dead person?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and Gao Feihu glared at Cheng Dalei with a dark face.
Today, not only the Toad Village family came to Zhujiazhai, but also the leaders of Feihu Village, Xinghualing, Tutoupo, Goutouling and other cottages in Qingniu Mountain were all here.
Cheng Dalei ignored Gao Feihu's sarcasm and still covered his mouth.
"Hey, it was that village that made the move. Everyone is eating in Qingniu Mountain, so there is no need to make things so extreme, right?" Little White Wolf said suddenly.
"You haven't noticed yet, it wasn't us who did it, it was outsiders!" Gao Feibao shouted.
"Who?" Cheng Dalei asked.
Yu Qiuran from Feihu Village said: "Black Rock City, Lu Heng."
Cheng Dalei hadn't seen him yet and asked: "Who is this?"
"Master Cheng, this is Feihuzhai military advisor Yu Qiuran, this is the first time you meet Master Cheng."
Cheng Dalei said: "How did Master Yu know that it was Lu Heng who succeeded?"
"We arrived early and found a blood letter in Zhujiazhai with Lu Heng's name on it. It also said..."
"What else are you talking about? Tell me quickly?" Xiong Da from Baldoupo asked.
"He also said that he will pass through Qingniu Mountain in three days, and everyone in Qingniu Mountain will be welcome at the bottom of the mountain!"
The blood letter was taken out from Yu Qiuran's body and passed around for everyone to read. Huang Sanyuan read it and found that it was Lu Heng's handwriting, which proved that the blood letter was genuine.
There are some literate bandits among the bandits. After seeing this, their faces were as heavy as ice. Now the heads of more than fifty cottages in Qingniu Mountain are here. It is completely dark, but no one speaks. Everyone has a dark face.
, looking at the dead people on the ground, I feel like a rabbit is dead and a fox is sad.
During this time, Qingniu Mountain was full of soldiers, and every village was thinking about how to swallow Xue Banchuan's birthday gifts. They were also thinking about how Lu Heng would deal with the Qingniu Mountain village. It was nothing more than soldiers coming to flood the enemy to the earth weir.
But no one expected that Lu Heng had no intention of joining the army to push the enemy to the weir. He only used one move... to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
They attacked Zhujiazhai all night long and massacred Zhujiazhai. But in the huge Qingniu Mountain, there were more than fifty groups of bandits, but no one heard the slightest movement. Killing people come and killing people return, Lu Heng wanted to use this method to tell everyone. He
It can defeat Zhujiazhai and any village in Qingniu Mountain.
Thinking of this, no one is as silent as a cicada, feeling like there is a knife hanging above their head and it will fall at any time.
Originally, a group of people were clamoring about how to rob Lu Heng and sharpen their knives, fearing that others would take the lead. But now, everyone has stopped, and no one dares to entertain this idea again.
At this time, someone stumbled into Zhujiazhai, carrying a hare in his hand.
Cheng Dalei actually recognized this man. He was Zhu Xiaopeng from Zhujiazhai. He had borrowed some chili noodles from Toad Village a few days ago and the two had met once.
Zhu Xiaopeng was hunting in the mountains last night and was lucky enough to escape. When he saw the miserable situation in the village, he collapsed instantly and fell to the ground with a thud, sobbing non-stop.
The cries resounded in everyone's ears, and everyone felt uncomfortable. There were more than 30 people in Zhujiazhai, including old people and children. They usually didn't go down the mountain to rob. The key was that the number of people was too small, so it was impossible to rob.
Instead, they were robbed. But today, more than 30 people in Zhujiazhai were slaughtered, including children, old people, women...
Zhu Xiaopeng suddenly stood up and walked slowly to Cheng Dalei.
"Master Cheng, I can't repay the debt I owe you. Don't take it personally."
"It's nothing, just live a good life." Until now, Cheng Dalei could only say these words.
"My father is dead, my mother is dead, my woman and children are dead, how can I live?"
As he said that, Zhu Xiaopeng suddenly roared and hit a big rock hard. Cheng Dalei was half a beat too slow to react. Zhu Xiaopeng had already smashed his head and his body fell in front of Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei froze suddenly, unable to believe what was happening in front of him.
"Hey, everyone help and bury the person." Gao Feibao shouted.
The leaders of several cottages dug into the earth with knives and suddenly carried Zhujiazhai's body and buried it in the ground.
Cheng Dalei waved his hand to disperse the blood on the tip of his nose, and said feebly: "Let's go back."
"Hey, why are you so inhumane? You don't care at all." Gao Feibao said.
Cheng Dalei did not look back, waved his hand and led the people back to Toad Village. When he returned to Toad Village, Cheng Dalei fell ill and lay in the room, sweating layer by layer.
"Master, are you okay?" Xu Ling'er cooked a bowl of ginger soup for Cheng Dalei and walked into the house.
Cheng Dalei shook his head, holding the ginger soup in his hand, and took a gulp. His wrist trembled for a moment, and with a clang, the coarse porcelain bowl fell to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
"The boss..."
Cheng Dalei waved his hand to prevent Xu Ling'er from moving forward, staring blankly at the porcelain pieces on the ground.
Xu Ling'er stood aside, not knowing what to do, so she could only say: "Master, are you okay? If not, just take a rest early."
Cheng Dalei asked Xu Ling'er to clean up the debris on the ground and got on the kang. After a while, he looked out the window and said his first words after returning to Toad Village.
"The life of a bandit...is really cheaper than that of a dog."
